Perfect family spot

This was a grandparent vacation with our son and his family of 2 boys. The upstairs/downstairs worked perfectly. The house was comfortable and clean. The boys loved picking blackberries. It was quiet with lovely light.

Great Getaway with Ample Space Inside and Out

Great house for two small families to share! Very clean and well-stocked. The grounds were fantastic for playing hide and seek and other fun ball games. The location is very serene and feels private. There is a main road bordering the property, but it's a country road with few cars traveling on it. Not a big deal at all. Also had A/C for some hot days. Loved this house!

Excellent House, Location, and Property.

Great house, check-in was super easy and the owner provided simple but detailed directions to the property and instructions about the house. The location was great- next to multiple major island lakes and trailheads, close to town, and passed by both a gas station and electrical charger on route to the house. We did have some issue with the wifi while we were there when it went out for a few days and we couldn’t get it back on, and a few of the outlets didn’t work. Overall great stay and the owners were great to communicate with, a 4 star rating because of the electrical.issues.

Wonderful Home

Our family was in town for a Celebration of Life and we chose this house due it being 3 bed, 3 bath. It was a lovely home & soooo clean!! That’s the one thing most important to me is cleanliness. This house had everything you could possibly need as well as spices and some condiments along with coffee and a welcome bottle of wine. I highly recommend this house for anyone on the fence wondering if it’s going to work for their needs. I would stay here again if we ever go back to Orcus.

Quiet and clean

We had a great time on orcas. The house had plenty of space for our girls trip. The house is close to Moran and easy to find. We were impressed with how clean the house was. It was easy to communicate with the host and had a lovely garden. Would definitely recommend.

Peaceful Garden Retreat

We loved staying at this property on Orcas. The house had plenty of room for 6 adults, including lots of seating areas both inside and out. The garden even had fresh raspberries that the gardener invited us to pick! The Wi-Fi was spotty at times but this wasn't a big deal as we were intent on using the week the disconnect. Would definitely stay here again!
